  2. DNA sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing

    DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and ...

  3. Nucleic acid sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_sequence

    DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleotide sequence of a given DNA fragment. The sequence of the DNA of a living thing encodes the necessary information for that living thing to survive and reproduce. Therefore, determining the sequence is useful in fundamental research into why and how organisms live, as well as in applied ...

  4. DNA sequencer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencer

    Because of limitations in DNA sequencer technology, the reads of many of these technologies are short, compared to the length of a genome therefore the reads must be assembled into longer contigs. [7] The data may also contain errors, caused by limitations in the DNA sequencing technique or by errors during PCR amplification. DNA sequencer ...

  5. Sanger sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanger_sequencing

    Microfluidic Sanger sequencing is a lab-on-a-chip application for DNA sequencing, in which the Sanger sequencing steps (thermal cycling, sample purification, and capillary electrophoresis) are integrated on a wafer-scale chip using nanoliter-scale sample volumes. This technology generates long and accurate sequence reads, while obviating many ...

  6. Sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequencing

    DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleotide order of a given DNA fragment. So far, most DNA sequencing has been performed using the chain termination method developed by Frederick Sanger. This technique uses sequence-specific termination of a DNA synthesis reaction using modified nucleotide substrates. However, new sequencing ...

  7. ABI Solid Sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABI_Solid_Sequencing

    During sequencing, each base in the template is sequenced twice, and the resulting data are decoded according to this scheme. SOLiD (Sequencing by Oligonucleotide Ligation and Detection) is a next-generation DNA sequencing technology developed by Life Technologies and has been commercially available since

    A new speed record in DNA sequencing may soon help families more quickly find answers to difficult a. For patients, often children, with rare diseases, getting a diagnosis is difficult and time ...

  9. Whole genome sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_genome_sequencing

    Because of this, full genome sequencing is considered a disruptive innovation to the DNA array markets as the accuracy of both range from 99.98% to 99.999% (in non-repetitive DNA regions) and their consumables cost of $5000 per 6 billion base pairs is competitive (for some applications) with DNA arrays ($500 per 1 million basepairs).
